I may charge a bit more but from my store you receive better coins! Our modern coins are purchased directly from the United States Mint and are NOT circulated or taken from bank rolls. Even so, ALL business strike or circulating coins are not perfect as marks, dings, and blemishes occur in the machine minting and shipping process.*
I remove the most-unsightly coins so you won’t be unpleasantly surprised. These coins have severe bag marks, gouges, dings, and blemishes. These damaged, yet uncirculated coins, can account for up to 30% of the coins I receive from the United States Mint. The chosen coins are then carefully placed with gloves in 2×2 Guardian flip holders, and shipped in strong plain envelopes to you. -Rev. Izzy
From the U.S. Mint:
The American Innovation $1 Coin representing Missouri honors George Washington Carver, agricultural scientist, inventor, and educator.
George Washington Carver was born into slavery in Missouri at the end of the Civil War. In the 1890s, he studied botany and agriculture at Iowa State Agricultural College. He then joined the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama at the invitation of Booker T. Washington. He taught agricultural methods at Tuskegee for 47 years.
In the South, cotton was the primary cash crop, despite it creating poor quality soil due to nutrient depletion. Carver wanted to improve the life of poor farmers trying to make a living growing cotton. He taught methods such as crop rotation, which alternated cotton with nitrate-producing legumes like peanuts and peas. The cotton depleted the soil of its nutrients while the legumes restored nitrogen. This method improved crop yields and was more cost-effective than using commercial fertilizer.
Carver investigated alternative crops to cotton that would grow well in the South. Then in an effort to create demand for these crops, he developed industrial and commercial uses for them. Through his research he discovered hundreds of different uses for peanuts, sweet potatoes, pecans, and others, including flour, cosmetics, and paints.
George Washington Carver died on January 5, 1943. That year Congress created the George Washington Carver National Monument at the site of his boyhood home in Missouri.*

Shipping Policy
We ship on regular business days. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be shipped on the next business day. Orders over $200 require signature on delivery.
eBay Standard Envelope Service: Like many eBay sellers we ship many coin orders (three or less coins weighing under three ounces) in 2x2 flips using via United States Postal Service (USPS) First-Class mail using
eBay Standard Envelope labels. You need to use eBay’s website software to track these envelopes. Note that these envelopes travel through the USPS network slowly. As well, note that USPS may also be slow in updating tracking information to the eBay software.
High Speed Sorters: The USPS First-Class mailing system by default processes standard envelopes through high-speed sorters. This can, and does, damage coins. It also can cause other shipping issues, such as delayed delivery.
If you DO NOT wish your coins to go through high-speed sorters, you can add a small additional fee ($0.48) to your purchase and we will forward this payment to the USPS for your item as a service for our customers. Your order will not be run through high-speed postal sorters while still benefiting from eBay Envelope's tracking service. This method is highly recommended by us AND meets all of the USPS requirements for sending coins though their system. You will receive your coins on-time and in great shape! Equally important is that we strongly believe in paying fair share for our Postal Worker's work.
If you wish this service for your order, choose "First Class" shipping at checkout.
Combined Shipping Discount: We cheerfully Combine Shipping charges for all the items in your shopping cart at the time of purchase. This is done automatically for you in eBay's checkout procedure. Once an item or invoice is paid, we can no longer offer a Combined Shipping discount.
Combined shipping is NOT available on items that include free shipping.
International Shipping: We will ship allowed items internationally and only through eBay International Shipping. There is no free option for International shipping.
